CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—The Western League was unable to decide upon a schedule at today's meeting and adjourned until to- morrow morning. It is almost certain that | 168 games will be played and the season will probably begin about April 21 and end October 4, This was practically decided upon at to- day's meeting, but the schedule committtee was unable to adjust -certaln dates to the satisfaction of all the club owners. The general outline of the draft submitted by the committée proved satisfactory and the Sunday dates were sald to be the rock upon which the split came. The isolated geographical location of Denver caused the schedule committee trouble in the ap- portionment of the Sundays ut home. The committee agaln went Into session and it is expected that all the objectionable fea- tures will be elinfinated by tomorrow Des Molnes s0ld five men to the Green Bay club in the Wisconsin-Tilinols league.

Funkhauser heaved the | welght forty'four feat, three and one-half | inches, this' mark being three and a half | inches better than the record put made by Sidney Colling Jast year. | In the high kick, Hansen raised the record mark by half an inch, going to nine | fect, four and one-half inches. This mark is within three and a half Inches of the world's record. Hansen 'tried for the world's record, but his kick, although golng as high as nine feet eight Inches, missed the leather plaster. ‘I'he big surprise of the meet was the de- feat suffered by Swanson in the twenty- five-yard dash. Last year Swanson won that "event with ease, and looked like a sure winner for this winter. He was de- feated by May, a freshman athlete, who dashed the twenty-five yards in rocord time. Minor, a fast university sprinter falled to get a place in this event. In the polo vault, Nebraska's twe star vaulters, tled for first, place at ten fee inches.

JOHNSON AGAIN PRESIDENT He 18 Re-elected for Term of Con- et and His Salary Advanced to Twenty-Five Thousand Doilars a Year. CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—Byron Bancroft 1Johmum was re-clected president, secre- | tary and treasurer of the American league ry said to be $25,000 a year at | | the closing session of the annual sched- | ule meeting today. The agreement under which the league | | has existed since November, 1900, was re- | newed for a perfod of twenty years. In | the new agreement is a clause forbidding | any club owner or holder of stock In any club to hold shares in any other club in | the league except as an “emergency meas- ure.” All the other articles of the agreement | were retained in the new one. Uniform . tickets with rain check cou- pons, practically the same as now in use in the Natlonal league, were adopted. A schedule of 154 games, opening on April 14 and closing on October 9, was unanimously adopted. This schedule was the only one submitted to the meeting and was chosen without change. It was an- nounced that the dates selected would be retwined whether the National league plays 164 or 168 games. If the National leakue selects the shorter season there will only be ten conflicting dates between the two leagues. Bight of these will be in Chicago and the two others In Bt. Louts, l Johnson's Salary Increased. While no official announcement was made that Mr. Johnson's salary had been increased from $15,000 to $25,000 it was said on good authority that such was the case. Mr. Johnson refused to talk of the reported salary increase, but smilingly sald that it was a personal matter. He also returned the same answer as to the | question as to how old he would be when his term of office will expire. This is the longest tenure in office to which any base ball president was ever elected. It was made co-existent with the Na- tional agreement. It is sald that Charles A. Comiskey of Chicago and Benjamin S. Shive of Philadeiphia were the men behind this signal tribute to Mr. Johnson as a league leader. The adoption of a twenty- year agreement was sald to be in the nature of a compromise. Some of the club owners favored the renewal for ten years, while others spoke for a perpetual agreement, such as now exists in the Natlonal league. This was the main subject of debate in| yesterday's meeting and the voting on it| was postponed until today. Syndicate Ball Prohibited. The article added to the agreement for-| bldding ‘“‘syndicate base ball” reads as fol- | lows: i Syndicate base ball is prohibited except | With the consent of the league's president | and directors. shall a stockholder in one glub own or control stock 1y another club in the American league, under penalty of | being voted and dealt with as an undesir- able associate and barred from all con- nections with the league. The expected big trade In which the St. Louls club was to be a party had not de- veloped up to a late hour. Several con- terences were held by the various man agers, but nothing of Importance developed. The Saginaw club ot the Southern Michi- | gan league secured two American recruits It purchased Second Baseman 'Weave: trom Cleveland and Pitcher Arnold from Philadelphia. The same club also bought Pitcher Burgess from the Sprinfield (Mo.) club, The majority of the club owners and managers left for their homes tonight. Robert L. Hedges, president of the St Louis Americans, denfed that he had any intention of trading Outfielder George Stone and Shortstop Bobby Wallace to Cleveland for Catcher Clarke and First Baseman Stovall, The following telegram was received by Mr. B.

Johnson from August Herrmann, | chairman of the National commission, to- day: All articles having been offered as coming from me with reference to Kling are false, | Have made no statement excepting that the | case will be taken up soon. | BUCKLES’ FIGHT IS A DRAW| Omaha Man Has Much the Better of | the Argument All the Way, | However. | ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 16.—The fight. be- tween Guy Buckles of Omaha and Jacks Robinson of New York was declared a draw here yesterday. Buckles had the best of the battle throughout, but by agree- | ment the fight was to be declared a draw if both men were on thelr feet at the end of the tenth round.

Here was a mys- tery by an author practically unknown, which combined elements of humor and mystery In such entertaining proportions that thé reading public was Immediately captivated. The combination was some- thirg new, piquant and different, like the Irst taste of grape fruit dressed with ofl. In “The Man In Lower Ten" Mrs. Rine- nart tells an even better story, with even zreater gayety, and even more intense humor. This Incessant, spontaneous, irrs- pressible humor of hers may be taken as her distinctive contribution to detective fic- tlon, the very essence of her true delight- fulness. It has its source In an optimism 18 natural as the welling of water from the ock. It has the tonle quality of sunshine. iven in the moments of their direst pre- caments the characters are able to laugh t themselves, and the reader laughs with them.

We shan't glve it away; we should not be so unkind to the prospective reader. But the starting point may at least bo indicated. A man £oes to bed In “Lower Nine'" of the Wash- ington sleeper from Pittsburg, and awakens in “Lower Seven.” In the meantime, an- other man in “Lower Ten,” which berth the first man was to have occupled If Pullman arrangements had gone stralght, is murdered, and the man in “Lower Seven'’ finds, as he starts to dress, not his own clothes and shoes, but the gar- ments of somebody else and the bag of somebody else, instoad of the one con- tining his own valuable papers. There's your puzzle for you, and it seems all the more baffling because of its very simplicity. The criminal must be one of the little group of people, all described, who boarded the Washington car. Natur- ally, every reader becomes a detective on his own hook, certain-sure that he has the one correct solution. And Mrs, Rine- hart just sits back with her sly and subtle smile—and lets one think so. Her fun will come to see him sit up with & jerk of surprise when she discloses her secret In the last astonishing chapter. it remains to add that, while the bright banners of humor and the sinister storm- signals of mystery are streaming through- out this story, the flag of romance flies bravely, too. On the fateful Pullman on which the hero takes passage there is also a blue-eyed and brown-haired Isabel whom he sees and loves. “The Man in Lower Ten" thus makes a threefold appeal on the reader, who is at once absorbed by its unusual mystery, cheered by its delight- ful humor and tharmed by its love-Inter- est. And a threefold cord, says Ecclesi- | astes, 18 not quickly broken. | The first installment of “The Man in | Lower Ten" will be published In The Sunday Bee of February 2. It would be | well to order the paper at once in order to secure the first chapter of this charm- ing story. |SANDS OF TIME IN CITY HALL Changes in City Clerk’s Office Un- cover Accumulations that Many Years Have Left. i The office of City Clerk Butler has been turned around so that under the new ar- rangement the smiling face of the man who gives out the dog licenses will be found in the northeast corner of the barn- | llke enclosure Instead of in the southwest cornej Inder the counter proper we found three lood Poison is usually a little sore or But when the s 1l, and sometimes ulcerate, form 8.8.8. is the true article of the virus from As soon as the system gets under the ar and soon a perfect f'.m'. own home and & at | ous Blood Poison Sufferers, With . 8.8, a cure can be effected in every Bo Mrs, lnua 1 she had MADE IN THE Largest Whiskey Distillery In The World. “Bottled In Bond" Guaranteed by the U.
